Well, Ive moved. I now live in San Diego and my insurance has changed. Thank goodness! My physician is so supportive and seems to be one of the few that believes that this is a disease and Im hoping to hear back from my insurance next week. I cant wait to have this done. Ive decided on RNY. Dr Wetter was my surgeon in the bay area but wont be who I select down here obviously! I havent picked yet and Im still researching.
Consultation Day
Oct 10, 2007
Today I met with the surgeon. He actually thought that I was here to follow up on my surgery that he did in august. I had an adrenal tumor removed by him then. We discussed the procedures. He doesnt seem to direct me in either direction. Im not sure if I want lap or rny. So I will continue to explore both. Bad news is...my insurance doesnt cover any of this It has me down but not out. It does me delaying things a bit.
